    Is there any way of doing a custom install for just web browsing. It wants me to install both anti-virus and web browsing

    It wants me to uninstall microsoft security essentials to proceed. I am not willing to get rid of that trusty fellow.

    For this, you only need to install Freedome. The link is in the browser.
    Or you can download it from the Play Store or iTunes and Redeem code.

    In Android Device, I found Chrome wouldn't allow me to log in, so I just installed it anyway via playstore, used the android browser to copy the generated voucher and it automatically pasted when I chose redemm code.

    Does anyone know why it says you need to uninstall Avast and Malwarebytes? Dont understand why having these applications would effect a Vpn using OpenVPN.

    Are you sure you've downloaded Freedome and not F-Secure SAFE?

    Your 100 percent right. Was doing it quickly without reading the instructions. Didnt realise I was downloading there Av. Will do it tonight, thanks for the help.

    Thanks op


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,331 ✭✭✭✭loyatemu


    nice - my previous code had just expired this week. Don't use F-Secure all that often but its handy for accessing the iplayer from time to time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,782 ✭✭✭SmallTeapot


    Great timing - my last free access VPN also expired this week (another BA from last year, Cyberghost). Thanks op


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,331 ✭✭✭✭loyatemu


    Also (though I haven't tested yet) the new version of Freedome allows you to have VPN running and cast at the same time.

    Question?

    Why cant I view videos on websites with this program active?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,381 ✭✭✭✭Allyall


    Question?

    Turn it off and on again. Sometimes their IP addresses are recognised by the most used players/apps.

    The IP's come from RIPE so are updated constantly. I am connected to iPlayer on laptop and Hulu app on phone and both playing fine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,922 ✭✭✭dashcamdanny


    No. Not working . I would have though sites like this would be OK.

    That's the only site I've not got a video working on. But I think that's more to do with one or all of the scripts running on the mirror website clashing with the sofware, as opposed to videos not working.
    HLS Playlist error at URL brightcove

    That website works when you have Freedome turned off and it's slow and buggy.

    Thanks OP works great. Already using it for getting to torrent sites and downloading the torrents, I then switch it off for the actual downloading.

    I haven't had that problem, but it could be that you have only allowed the app on Wifi, and are trying it on your phone's data network?

    Use the register link in the OP.

    After you register you click on the MORE tab to the right. Generate voucher is there.

    I had problems finding at first too.

    Is this just browser based?

    If I have Kodi installed on the PC will it be routed via the VPN?

    No chance to use this on a DD-WRT router?

    To answer some of my own question, I have now installed Freedome on my laptop and tested with Kodi.

    I installed an addon which was Geo-blocked outside of the Netherlands and with Freedome switched off I could not play any streams. Then with Freedome on and connected via the Amsterdam server I was able able to play the streams.

    So this would indicate that all traffic is via the VPN.

    I tested Netflix also and could change between the US and UK versions with no problem.

    Also tested using speedtest.net and apart from the normally expected drop off in ping, internet upload and download speeds were not throttled in any way whilst Freedome was enabled.

    I can't see how you do until your current one expires. You can always choose to email it to yourself and add it later.

    No, the codes expire 30th September I think.

    That's the trial period not the voucher.

    That was in the same email as all my codes when I emailed them to myself. I guess we can find out after the 30th by trying to add another code.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,782 ✭✭✭SmallTeapot


    Anyone know how to add codes to iOS? Specifically iPad?

    Thanks :)
